The reason for identifying as mixed is not Haiti, it’s simply because that’s what we are. The DR is not alone in this, any country with a decent amount of people with African ancestry makes a distinction between being mixed race and being black, the US is an exception to this, not the rule. And tbh I found it unnecessary to mention anyways.
Actually most of us anglophone countries see mixed race as black because you still related to black. Sure you may grow up being seen as bit different but you're still black. Don't know how Latin hierarchy describes this situatuon.
@@manovrsb thats racist, just one drop makes you black but the white has to be pure, quite apartheid-minded imo
@@manovrsbwe don’t work on the one drop rule. Most of Latin America doesn’t work on that basis’ demographically.
every black person in the USA is mix because of slavery & the rapes of the slave masters ! but they still black
@@manovrsbLatin America and other places with mixed ppl go by nationality it’s a way to keep the ppl united. In Latin America no matter the color you are what ever you nationality is. As each nation has different native tribes and so on so the mix and culture changes from nation to nation in the only Spanish empire.
Excelente documental 👏👏👏🇩🇴
Excelente video 🇩🇴👍
Very understandable, fluid, dynamic and captivating that keeps the listener attentive with real and precise data. Loved it!! ❤️
Thank you for the kind words.
Great video, thank you!
Overall it’s a very good video, but there are somethings I would say it differently. I’m not going to mention all of them, just three.
1) Forgot to mention the sierra de Neiba, that is oneof the 5 important mountain ranges.
2. I wouldn’t mark the “Metropolitan Area” as that huge part. At most it’s the Santo Domingo province + the National District. I would also include Bajos de Haina, despite it’s in San Cristóbal province. Everything west of the National District and Santo Domingo province is the South (the reference point is the Central Mountains, so everything south of them is the South, everything north of them is the Northor Cibao and everything east of them is the East (including Monte Plata province but excluding the Metropolitan Area. Everything east of Santo Domingo province is the East (including Monte Plata which is north of Santo Domingo province.)
3. The homage of the Virgin of Highest Grace (La Altagracia) isn’t the only thing still practiced in the East from the early colonial period. El Seibo is the only place in the Caribbean that still practices bullfighting (the bulls aren’t killed or injured unlike in some other countries) and that too comes from the early colonial period. Cattle ranching started in the early colonial period and continue to this day. El Seibo town is also from colonial origin and in fact the main church there is from that era, one of the few colonial churches in the east.
Like I previously said, there are a few more but I’ll leave it here. I say 95% of what is said in the video is exactly how it’s with nothing to question or debate.
Good job!
Agree, I noticed the metro area he marked was too big too
¡Viva la República Dominicana 🇩🇴!
and please stay your ass there !
Can’t wait to show my Dominican parents this video the political videos are great but when you breakdown the culture regions within the nation it’s such rich info people don’t cover often
I appreciate the kind words.
No problem your channel is among my favorites, while you may not see the numbers atm please continue you’re giving folks so much information in 15-20 minutes. Not to mention its history that goes often ignored Latin America is a region of the world that its history often gets surface level coverage.
Dios bendiga a la Republica Dominicana. 🇩🇴❤
and please stay your butts there ! PLEASE
@@robertday-i3kgladly! You too, stay yours in there, you are!
We do not need your imput, we are here! Why are you here, envious?
🇩🇴💪🗽💪🇩🇴
I felt that what should to identify as.... America has a nasty reputation of shoving people with black skin into African American culture whether you want to or not. I have a jamaican father and a dominican mother and was raised by my dominican grandparents and mom. So even though ethnically im black culturally im dominican. But in America, that does not matter. IF you have black skin, no matter where you are from, you will get shoved into American Black culture. America is amazing, but that something that needs to be worked on.
you will get in big trouble by calling any of them black
Of course we are not black ok maybe you are but not my peoples Spanish ok
Do you go on your daily life telling people what their race is?
them light skin haitian basically
@@westindians882 You wish, we were here first
@raycuevas7577 how? recorded of European 🇪🇦 documents say when they arrived all they saw was millions of negroid Indigenous indians all over the Americans .
